    VOCALOID Why do you think not many professional producers use English Vocaloids? Discuss.

    I think there's two big reasons: 1.) Vocal synths in general are seen as "creepy" by Westerners, because when poorly tuned, they sound like they're trying to imitate humans, but at the same time, they don't sound human at all. (The "uncanny valley" reaction). Of course, some producers...

    We don't really have outlets in the American sense in the UK, apart from TK Maxx I guess. And even then, I hate browsing TK Maxx bcause it's perpetually like a jumble sale in there and it's hard for me to navigate, so I just avoid it entirely. I did end up checking TK Maxx's makeup section just...

    The Beauty Thread

    My acne used to be a lot worse when I was a teen, but I don't know now if it was crappy foundation causing it, or just hormones (because teen woes). I definitely agree with the whole foundation being important for skincare bit, and forking out a bit more for foundation. A bad foundation will...

    The Beauty Thread

    To be fair, drugstore brands have gotten a lot better regarding pale shades over the last ten years, but I still find duds every so often - usually foundations that either pull too yellow for my pink undertoned skin, oxidise orange on me, or just look too dark despite claiming to be a...

    The Beauty Thread

    I'm thinking of making my first "sort of fancier makeup than the drugstore" purchase be the Glossier Perfecting Skin Tint and Stretch Concealer. I've come to the conclusion now that normal foundations are just way too heavy on my skin, but tracking down something that doesn't turn orange on my...

    Man, the discussions on here have gotten super interesting recently. But to keep things on-topic... (Possibly) Unpopular opinion: I don't think the Vocaloid fandom is as toxic as some people say it is? Maybe I'm biased because I don't hang out on Twitter or Amino (where most of the fandom drama...

    I like male voicebanks (though I've just noticed that I don't have any male voices that are part of my personal 'Love' tier, which might say something), but I think the problem is that male voices are less common for most, if not all vocal synth programs compared to female ones, so there are...

    VOCALOID How do you guys discover new VOCALOID music?

    I'm another lazy person who just uses YT's recommended tab, but success is very much 50-50... While I have discovered gems that way, I've also tended to find stuff I don't like. Plus, the tab is now broken in the sense that it keeps recommending stuff you've already watched.

    Apologies for double posting again, but apparently, the art forgeries from Redd are haunted this time, as demonstrated in this video. WARNING: Skip the first 17 seconds if you want to avoid a screamer! But seriously, where the hell is Redd getting his art from this time? This is some horror...

    TV Shows/movies You like that most people seem to dislike?

    I was surprised to learn that some people hated the sequel, because I really enjoyed it as well. I especially liked how it expanded on the idea of how a world where supers were banned from working functioned, because it showed more or the conclusions from such a thing. But I do agree with the...

    I bought some shrubs from Leif the other day (so far, it's really made my town look a lot nicer than just sticking flowers everywhere), and I also got the hedge recipe from Tom Nook today after discovering online how to get it. ^^; Redd also turned up in my town yesterday, so now the museum is...

    Apologies for the double post, but a big update is coming to New Horizons. RIP to time travellers who have perfected their islands already, only to have them ruined by the addition of bushes. :tongue:

    Disappointed about the lack of physical release, but I guess I could import a Japanese copy later. The state of the world right now puts me off, however, because I know shipping for anything will be a nightmare for quite a while.

    I've been seeing inspiration pics on Instagram, though they all tend to copy the Instagram hipster aesthetic you already see a lot in real life. Maybe check out the AC fandom on there?

    Maybe some Japanese users misread the updated NicoNico TOS and started to panic? Because something kind of similar happened a while back on YouTube when they updated their ToS and it was poorly written on YT's end. In some ways, I do think Nico lags behind YT in some features, but on the other...

    I thought IA English sounded pretty similar to the JP bank, but I will forever curse the day they made English a CeVIO bank instead of a Vocaloid one, because I feel IA English's quality would be so much better on the Vocaloid engine. (No offence to CeVIO, but until they update the engine to...

    I finally unlocked terraforming yesterday, and I've already moved one villager's house because I ended up not liking where I placed them lol. I've also narrowed a river to make more room for paths, and started placing more streetlamps outside. But on the whole I have no idea what I want my town...

    Rin and Len sounded higher to me than usual, and Luka didn't sound like herself either. Not sure what else to think overall.

    What Will You Do after Corona?

    Same here. I mainly just miss seeing my boyfriend regularly, but I've also been cut off from staff members at my uni at the worst possible time, since we've almost finished the lecture side of my course and we're about to start our dissertations. My mental health is also deteriorating as well...

    I got the non-native fruit islands and the bamboo island early on, but since then, I've just been getting boring islands. :( I've heard somewhere that you can only find two non-native fruits (excluding coconuts) on one save file, so if you're missing the last two non-native fruits on your...
